Hands-on workshop all majors welcomed! This workshop aims to provide a brief introduction to the programing language R and its popular interface RStudio, and emphasis will be placed on the application of R and the Tidyverse package in empirical research in the social sciences, such as political science. The speakers will go through several sets of codes that enable us to clean, summarize, and visualize datasets, and some particular issues in research design including model building and hypothesis testing will be discussed such as variable types, correlation and causation, observational and experimental studies, and sampling strategies. At the end of this workshop, the participants are expected to obtain some basic knowledge of R and acquire some general insights into how to inspect and interpret data in RStudio. No prerequisite knowledge will be needed, as we will explain from the basics, but i is useful to download R and RStudio before the event.


このワークショップは、プログラミング言語Rとその人気のあるインターフェイスRStudioの簡単な紹介と、政治学などの社会科学の実証研究におけるRとTidyverseパッケージの適用に重点が置かれます。講演者は、データセットのクリーンアップ、要約、視覚化を可能にするいくつかのコードセット、変数の種類、相関関係と因果関係、観察および実験研究など、モデル構築や仮説テストを含む研究デザインの特定の問題について説明します。このワークショップを通じて、参加者はRの基本的な知識を習得し、RStudioでデータを検査および解釈する方法に関する一般的な洞察を習得することができます。基本から説明するため、前提知識は必要ありませんが、イベントの前にRとRStudioをダウンロードすると便利です。
